The year 1886 played sad havoc with
many prominent men of our country.
Many of them passed away without
warning, passing away apparently in the
full flush of hfe.
Others were SICK but comparatively
short time. W. tnrn to our files and
are astonished 20 hud shat most of them
died of apoplexy. Of paralysis, of nerv-
GUS prostration, of malignant blood hu-
NOR, of BrighL's disease, OF heart dis
ease, of kidney disease, or rheumatism
or Of pneu nonia.
| Its singular that most of our promi-
nent men die of these disorders. Any
Journalist who watches the telegraph re-
ports will be astonished at the number
of prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off so many promi-
nent men in 1856 are really one disease,
taking different names according to the
location of the fatal effects.
| When q valuable horse perishes it be.
comes the nine days talk of the sporting
world, and yet thousands OF ordinary
horses are dying every day; their aggre.
gate loss ia enormous; and yet their
death creates no comment.
| So it is with individuals. The cause
of death of prominent men creates COM
nent, especially when it can be shown
| that one unsuspected disease carries of
most of them, and yet ''vast numbers OF
ordinary men and women die before
heir time every year from the same
cause"
It's said if the blood is kept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostration, pneumonia, rheu'
matism, and many cases OF consumption,
would never be known. This uric acid,
we are told, is the waste of the system.
and it is the duty of the kidneys to re-
move this waste.
We are told that if the kidneys are
maintained in perfect health, the uric,
kidney, acid is kept out OF the blood,
and these sudden and universal diseases
caused by uric acid will, in large meas
ure disappear. ,r
But how shall this be done? 1t is folly
to treat effects. II there is any known
way of getting at the cause, that way
should be known to the public. We be-
lisve that Warmers safe cure, OF which
SO much has been written, and SO much
talked of by the public generally, IL now
recognized by impartial physicians and
the public as the one specific for such
diseases.
Because public attention has been
directed to this great remedy by means
of dvertisipg, some persons have not
believed in the remedy. We cannot see
how Mr.. Warner could Immediately
benefit the public in any other way, and
his valuable specific should not be con-
demned because some nostrums have
come before the public in the same way,
any more than that all doctors should be
condemned because SO many of them are
incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on every side, of that great
remedy, and public opinion thus based
upon an actual experience. has all the
weight and Importance of absolute truth
At this time of the year, the uric acid
in the blood invites pneumonia and
rheumatism, and there is not a man
who does not dread these monsters OF
disease; but he need have no fear of
them we are told, If he rid the blood of
the urid acid cause.
These words are strong and may sound
like an advertisement, and be rejected
as such by unthiDking people, but we
believe they are the truth, and as sue b
should be spoken by every truth-loving
newspaper.
